Bumps on Nipple
by nani, Aug 09, 2001 12:00AM
I just noticed tiny white bumps on my nipples. They are not raised and most of the bumps are on the right nipple and just a few on the left nipple. They are mostly on and around the nipple with a few on the areola. I have not noticed any change in my breasts. I had a physical exam by my gynecologist nine months ago and had a mammogram taken which came out fine. The bumps are not painful or itchy. In fact, you can't feel it at all but I'm wondering if I should be concerned because I don't know if this is normal or not. Could it be a sign of cancer? Please let me know if it is a common thing.
Thank you

Dear Nani, What you’re most likely seeing are called Montgomery’s glands which are a normal feature around the nipple which enlarge during pregnancy and lactation.
